The Where: Guildford Games Club – The Park Barn Centre, Park Barn Drive, GU2 8EN Guildford
The When: Saturday, 11th May, 2019.
Doors open 9am,
Game 1: 10am-12noon
Game 2: 1pm-3pm
Game 3: 3:30pm – 5:30pm
Awards and prizes 5:45pm – 6pm
The What: Mid War flames of War, 100pts from the following books and command cards:
• Afrika Korps
• Iron Cross
• Ghost Panzer (The armoured grenadier formation only)
• Fighting First
• Armoured Fist
• Avanti
In keeping with the spirit of the event when making army lists drawn from Iron Cross and Ghost Panzer please steer away from including anything that did not actually see combat in the North African or Tunisian campaigns; for example Ferdinands, Panthers, KV-1s etc. Support units can only be drawn from Iron Cross or Afrika Corp.
We’ll be playing Red Verses Blue.
Awards for Best Allied/Axis General, Best Painted, Best Historical Force.
Please note the 2 hour time for the games, and bring lists that you know you can complete a game with. Missions will be chosen with the ‘more missions’ and battle stance cards.
The Iron Fez Challenge: Sometimes you collect so much of a force that you can’t decide what to use – if this is you then fear not, for you can take part in the Iron Fez challege:
Bring three lists with different core formations for the same nation and front, and you’ll be told what list you are using at the beginning of each round – yes, they have to be your own painted models, and yes, this is not easy – this is why it’s a challenge!
The Prizes: We have support from Battlefront, so we have a generous prize pool – points awarded throughout the day will win you raffle tickets, with all prizes being raffled off at the end of the day – so even if you just turn up you could walk away with the grand prize!
The Cost: Tickets cost £12 for either Axis or Allied or £10 for ‘Both’. A ‘Both’ ticket means you are willing to bring both an axis and allied army on the day and swap at the request of the Event Organiser. For payment details and to register for the event please email [email protected]

RULES AND REGULATIONS
• All armies must be fully painted. Any miniatures not fully painted will be pulled from the table prior to starting the tournament.
• Missions will be selected randomly immediately before each round, any mission will only be played once in the tournament. The first and third rounds will be played with one of the “basic” first six missions in the book. The second mission will be from the “more missions” area. The final mission will be random from any remaining unplayed missions.
• Players are responsible for monitoring the time and the judges will announce time intervals throughout the tournament. A true act of sportsmanship is not starting a new turn if both players will not be able to finish that turn. The game should be called if both players cannot finish their turn and the results should be calculated.
• We will have only 2 hours per round so slow play will be actively discouraged, repeated offenses may result in loss of points or forfeited matches. This is a Nationals competition, if you cannot play a game to completion due to size/compliment or familiarity with your army, you might want to revisit your choice. Most players should be able to complete their turns within 10-15 minutes.
• Painting Competition: Any players that wish their armies to be considered for the best painted competition will stage them at the first lunch break in the designated area with a name plate on the display. All models in the army must be from Battlefront Miniatures.
• When time is called the game must immediately end regardless of the action taking place in the game. New turns cannot be started even if starting a new turn would award an immediate victory or cause a player to make a company morale check.
• Unit histories are not necessary.
• Army lists must be submitted to [email protected] (Third Party army list creation sites (i.e., Easy Army, Army Builder) may be used as well as the generic army list excel spreadsheet located on the Flames of War website. All lists must include the following information:

o Player’s email address
o Club name (if applicable)
o Army list being used (For example: Tank Company)

Attacker / Defender
Attacker and defender will be determined by referencing the mobility value listed below:
